VD330 Virus Story Develops, MoH Declares Epidemic
GREZEL, Tirnreich- Health Minister Vindeski declared the vD330 virus infections an "epidemic" in a press release on 20.12.11. The virus has thus far killed 20 and infected 60 in the rural villages. Scientists are continually scrambling for living infected tissue to biopsy, hopefully leading the scientists to answers.

One answer seems to have popped up in the face of suffering, yet it leads to chilling realizations and more problems. Several labs, including labs no.2 and no.4 of the Disease Control Dept., have confirmed that the virus is seemingly only affecting those with the gene eACG2, which is believed to discern the presence of Aryan and sub-Aryan (Tirnlander) ethnic coding. The DCD and the Minister of Health are holding off on declaring this epidemic a "bioweapon," citing public safety and panic.

As of press time, the virus is believed to be transferred via bodily fluid interaction and insect bites. Tests are currently undergoing to test airborne transferability,

IFV Empire and Union Teams Enter UFF
NACHTSBURG, Tirnreich- The Minister of Recreation, Davil Crzajkow, was present in the MoR's Franciscan Room with the UFF Commissioner and the general managers of the Nachtsburg Empire and Hekli Union. The reason behind the meeting in the famous room is the signing of the Empire and Union into the UFF football league.

"The MoR and I are confident these two powerful teams will bring honor and many victories to the IFV and the Empire." said Minister Crzajkow in a press release. "I am confident the teams will play fair and with dignity for the Empire."

Teams Union and Empire are positions 1 and 2, respectively, in the Imperial Fussball Verband as of the conclusion of the season on 18.12.11. The reason the Union's northern counterparts, the Hekli Reds, aren't returning to international club play is the recent legislation of the MoR, in partnership with the IFV, which states that one team from each division, West and East, must represent the IFV in international club matches.

Syrian Military Atrocities Condemned by Emperor
NACHTSBURG, Tirnreich- In a somewhat rare public television appearance, Emperor Konrad von Nacht appeared on Nachtsburg 1 network to issue a message concerning the recent reports of Syrian military raids and attacks on peaceful protestors and civilians. His Imperial Highness's short speech denounced Syrian oppression and stressed a ceasefire of the military.

"Good evening, Grand Empire of the Tirnreich. I am your Emperor, speaking to you in response to the violent and heinous oppression the Syrian government is raining down on peaceful protestors and innocent peoples. These acts have targeted "terrorists" and "revolutionaries" who "attacked military outposts." However, reliable reports from inside Syria confirms that the military is attacking innocent people, raiding their homes and killing relentlessly, all because these people believe in democracy. I strongly condemn these acts, and ask for a ceasefire of the military on the civilian population. Even those who are given orders to kill are resisting and deserting the military forces, leading to them dyeing as passive martyrs. I urge the Arab League and the rest of the international community to intervene in any plausible way as soon as possible, to save the free-thinking people of Syria. May God bless the persecuted, and may God bless our Country. Lange leben fur der Reich."

The broadcast was sent to all state-run and many independent news and broadcasting services, including Radio Zero (State news radio) and VEN Channel 13.

Kaiser Island Development Progressing
KAISER INSEL, Kaiser Inselprovinz- As the island colony's first Christmas draws near, province administrator Colonel Rugel says "development is going well." Col Rugel, the commander of the Pacific Expeditionary Force, which was the first Tirnlander presence on the island, is the mayor of the town of Rugel's Landing and administrator of the island. Nearly 6,000 government-funded personnel are present on or near the island, including 2,000 military personnel and over 1,500 TirnGlobal Logistics contractors.

The island has no civilian personnel on it yet, even though civilian housing has been built by contractors. The first fully independent civilians are believed to be on schedule to arrive on the island for the second week of January. Logging, equipment and material storage, and commercial operations are currently underway on Kaiser Island, paving the way for civilians to integrate seamlessly into island life.
